U.S. to Review Funding for International Organizations
(New York Times) Max Fisher - The Trump administration is preparing a draft executive order titled "Auditing and Reducing U.S. Funding of International Organizations." It calls for terminating funding for any UN agency or other international body that gives full membership to the Palestinian Authority or Palestine Liberation Organization, or supports any activity that circumvents sanctions against Iran. The draft order also calls for terminating funding for any organization that "is controlled or substantially influenced by any state that sponsors terrorism." The order then calls for enacting "at least a 40% overall decrease" in remaining U.S. funding for international organizations.
